countable and uncountable see noun

determiner
These words are determiners:
a, an, the (articles)
my, your, his, her, its, our, their (possess!ves)

We use a determiner with a noun:

t h e a ir p o r t y o u r new c a r my best f r ie n d

The following words are determiners too (used with a noun), but they can also be pronouns
(used without a noun):
this, that, these, those
some, any, no, all
many, much, few, little
both, either, neither, each

For example:
I like t h is j a c k e t (determiner)
I like th is , (pronoun)

direct speech and reported speech

When we use direct speech, we use the words of the speaker. For example:
Paul went home early. He said I'm n o t f e e lin g g o o d .'

When we use reported (or indirect) speech, we change I'm not to he wasn't:
Paul went home early. He said h e w a s n 't f e e lin g g o o d .

See Units 47-48.

future
To talk about the future, we use present tenses (/ leave, I'm leaving etc.), will or (be) going to.
